I searched, couldn't find anything specific. How do I get that damn pully off the camshaft? I'm trying to pull the camshafts to sell them, and I can't see how that thing comes off. Is there a bolt in there? Do I jst need a pulley tool to get it off? Any help appreciated.

LOL

I was here last year....Pain in the butt.....

If you will notice there the middle of your camshaft has a threaded hole. You need to get something akin to a power steering puller and crank that baby down until the pulley slides off. The pulley may and probably will bend and you will have to get a new one...they are not that expensive.

When installing the new one, you will have to get a grade 8 or better bolt that will screw into the center of your camshaft. You will then have to device shims, etc. to torque it back down onto the camshaft.. Make sure you get a good quality bolt. Mine stripped and I had to rethread the camshaft and still had problems getting the pulley into proper alignment.....
